Locanda Arco Antico

Locanda - Veneto - Venezia (ve)

Prenota Locanda Arco Antico

The Arco Antico Guest House is set on the restored main floor (piano nobile) of a Venetian palazzo, preserving the charm and elegance of yesteryears.
An old arch and beyond it a typical Venetian courtyard shelter this small oasis of peace and tranquility just a few steps away from the Grand Canal and from the Rialto Bridge.
Boasting traditional floors alla Veneziana and typical local lead-latticed windows – created by Murano glass masters – the residence hotel offers a complete array of modern services provided in the best hotels.
This mix of tradition and modernity has been the guiding spirit of Gianfranco and Marco, the young Venetian owners, in overseeing every detail of this residence.
Every morning, for example, particular care is paid to breakfast, served (upon request) either at the dining hall or in your room.
In the evening, you may participate in a “briefing” that includes suggestions and detailed recommendations to help our guests see places that are less likely to be visited by the common tourist, and discover with little effort the magic, history and mystery of the city: from Ugo Pratt’s Imaginary Venice (adapted from his Corto Maltese drawings and texts) to a Venice of fun and pleasure of the old taverns.
Litterally 50 meters from the Grand Canal, situated in the Rialto neighborhood, the hotel can easily be reached either on foot or using public transportation. Indeed, it is just a few steps away from one of the most popular places in the city, the Rialto market, where art and history commingle with the simplicity of daily life.
From here, it is only five-minutes’ walk to such places as the Scuola Grande of San Rocco, the Basilica of the Frari, Ca’ Pesaro Modern Art Museum, as well as the Rialto Bridge and Campo San Polo – which is an important venue during the Venice Carnival and during the Venice Film Festival (when the square is turned into an open-air cinema).
But there are additional attractions beyond art: everyday Venetian life among small arts and crafts shops, fascinating voices and colors which make Venice such a unique city with no equals in the world.
Each room is named after a famous historical personality and evokes in its style and interior furnishings the atmosphere of a period residence. All rooms include private bathrooms, heating and air-conditioning, hair-dryers, satellite TVs, direct-line telephones, Internet connections, safes and mini-bars.
A number of rooms are also easily accessible for people with some physical disabilities.
